Dr. Prasanna Venkatesh, strongly recommended and insist for the treatment after identifying stricture in one of the tests called RGU. I was suffering from prolonged UTI for a month, and a dynamic obstruction in the flow. His ethical words touched my heart, he said " once you identifying the cause you should get treated for it, whether you decide here or any where else. " that was his Frank opinion,... Then I decided to under go these procedure and experienced the ********* treatment from him, he is very positive, confident on his decision and work.

Over all my experience is good with full team of the nu hospital.... Now in 5 days I recovered and my fallow up test like uroflowmetry shown **** result then pre procedure. I'm thank full to Dr.prasanna& team
